I love that Shield Hero lowered the bar so hard that Goblin Slayer is totally fine by comparison.

I think someone recommended It's My Life in this thread, so I started in on it at a slow day at work and got through about four volumes (just got through gor-gor's backstory  ). I won't say it doesn't have some issues with some creepy stuff/lovely gags for "comedy", but so long as astra treats Noah as a daughter and nothing more, it's not really on the level of trash like GS/SH. But the slice of life stuff with astra and Noah is wonderful and often hilarious, gor-gor's a good boy, and the overarching daily life stuff with the expanding cast is good fun. The more serious story stuff is...okay, though the gor-gor backstory was pretty surprisingly good (I especially liked the detail of since he lost his mother while a baby, he never learned the dragon's language and so was abandoned by them when he encountered them later) It also seems to be complete at 11 volumes, hopefully it doesn't nosedive down any bad directions like some other series in the home stretch.

Basically if he can contain his own horny, It'll be a good story.

Man, don't tell me the artist is a creeper. I read the comments for Sen to Man to see why it abruptly ended and turns out the author of that is a pedophile. Christ. I know some mangaka do porn, fine, whatever, but there's some steps too far.

And all I can say is, half to make myself laugh and half as a real thing, Carl Barks, the guy who did the Ducks for Disney, basically by the end of his career was jerking it to Disney Ducks, because he'd drawn them so much that... Long story short eventually if you draw it enough you'll wind up jerking it to it.

That was more G. Slayer than I needed to see. The stuff he told me about was apparently from the LN's so I don't know too much there. I DO know that they do ecchi art of the characters which is in just God Awful taste given the nature of the series. Also I think they're both very loud and clear about their message.

Worst thing about Goblin Slayer is that I love the premise of "Guy who specializes in low level beginner monsters no-one else wants to bother with." But instead we got, well, Goblin Slayer.

I think if they toned the rape/torture way down or all the way and maybe game them other non-rapey traits it would have been good.

I don't need them to not be irredeemably evil, but yeah, could do without the rape.

Fortunately VRV isn't owned by Ellation, Crunchy's parent, anymore but if even indirect funding won't cut it then you'r poo poo out of luck for future Crunchy content.

I find it repugnant and INFURIATING that shows as repugnant and mediocre as Shield Hero and Goblin Slayer will likely be the biggest anime in the US for the next few years and how lots of people of relevance on YoutTube prop those shows up as if they were some kind of revelatory and transcendent shows that either bring the genre back(Dark and Low Fantasy) and are "deep", "complex", and "emotional". Like I have friends who enjoy these shows, but they're under no illusions that they're trashy as hell and don't hold them in any better of a light than say, Michael Bay films or things of that nature. Yeah it's trashy and offensive, but it has lots of spectacle and that's what you're looking for here. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 09:19 on Feb 4, 2019 |

Captain Invictus posted:that honestly seems like a pretty low amount of people watching it if there's under 3000 total people on the most recent episode torrenting it. which, hey, I'd love nothing more than for it to crash and burn I'm knocking on wood as I type this, but I take solace in the fact that it's still, trailing by a decent margin both on Nyaa and on Mangadex across all four categories downloads on the former and views, rating, and follows(at just 20 short of 34k, Slime if the most followed manga on the site) on the latter.

I do find it hilarious that due to Shield Hero, SA is now capable of holding a civilized discussion about Goblin Slayer. So I guess it's been good for something. The amount of people simply not seeing the issue with this show, especially after the last episode is worrying though.

Much like a lot of anime these days it's gonna be forgotten about by all except the diehard fans literally a few months after it airs.

Onmi posted:Also, Doomrider. Not technically the thread for this but, gently caress it, I have no respect for Shield Hero so I'll basically post about anything I want until a Mod tells me otherwise. I remember in the Worst anime of the year thread you were describing that your friend had told you about a scene in Goblin Slayer where all the girls dressed up like sluts to attract the Slayer which didn't work. Yeah... I decided to take a little look, and I think your friend is conflating two or three scenes that have neither of that context. lmao gently caress off this is idiotic, no poo poo titty armor is impractical there are two general reasons for having titty armor: some men like it because it shows tits, some women like it because they like to imagine themselves as cool and sexy what is the point of ~*~~subverting~~*~ this by subjecting people wearing it to brutal sexual violence? we already know it's impractical. all it means is that the former gets to see more titties, and the latter is gatekept out because you can't involve yourself into your silly fantasy hobby without the threat of sexual violence

Because there is a moment in which the dude gets all his negative hatred and emotions sucked out of him, all the poo poo that's completely unhealthy. And his slaves force it back into him because "He's just not him if he's nice" Not only showing how hosed up their relationship is but pushing the horrible narrative that someone being an abrasive dickhead with severe psychological issues is preferable to being well adjusted.

I mean in a show like Konosuba where Kazuma gets his perv and sleaze tendencies taken out and everyone working to them back due to being weirded out would be hilarious, but that's a WAY different show with WAY different characters and attitude. Either way we all know that it'll get written out like, "Oh it's fake version of him like this" or "It's not real because they took out a pivotal part of his persona" or some other BS like that.
